AHEPA releases an op-ed authored by Supreme President George G. Horiates titled, "The President of the United Nations General Assembly is a Genocide-Denier."
“The UN marks its 75th anniversary with its opening session on September 15, 2020. When it gavels-in, the president who will be calling the UNGA to order will be Turkish diplomat Volkan Bozkır, a Genocide-denier," Horiates writes.
Horiates cites Bozkir's rejection of Pope Francis' statement of the 1915 incidents, which the pontiff described as genocide. Bozkir also described Pope Francis' statement as "history falsifying."
Horiates concludes by questioning the ability and credibility of the UN to safeguard the rule of law and human rights.
